Farms Appear in Cities

When you hear the word “farm”，

you may imagine the countryside

with cows and crops

．

But scientists say the farms of the future could be

built in tall buildings in some large cities

．

It may be difficult to believe

，

but in fact

，

the technology for

growing

crops

indoors

already

exists

．

Farming

in

the

city

is

already

happening

．

Some

vegetables

are

already

grown

in

greenhouses

．

Even

the

scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy flesh vegetables

they grow in their own greenhouse

．

Experts

say

indoor

farming

solves

many

probl ems

．

First

，

traditional

farming

takes

up

a

lot

of

land

．

Growing

crops

in

tall

buildings--called vertical farming (

垂直农业

)-call solve the proble m

．

Also

，

fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats

from insects and bad weather

．

Though vertical farms don't exist yet

，

experts have created a plan

for recycling in such farms

．

The water from indoor fish ponds would be

used

to

water

crops

．

Gases

from

crop

waste

would

be

used

to

heat

the

building

．

Waste

from

chicken

or

pigs

would

be

reused

as

a

source

of

energy

．

But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They

say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors

．

B esides

，

plants

differ

in

their

weather

and

lighting

needs

．

For

example

，

some

plants

like

warm

sunny

weather

，

but

other

plants

prefer

cooler

temperatures.

That's

not

to

say

these

difficulties

won't

be

overcome --but

it

will

take

time

．

Most

experts

suggest

it

may

take

about

5

to

15

years

before the first vertical farms could be created

A Good Lesson

After living in Europe for seven years

，

my parents decided that my

family

would move to the United States

．

We all looked forward to

this

．

What would

people think of us? For me

，

I hoped to be the hero

of the class

．

I was not disappointed

．

All my classmates admired my experience

，

and

I

quickly

became

well

known

as

“the

French

guy”

．

I

was

very

popular

for

a

tune.

However,

I

was

not

interested

in

many

things

my

classmates did

，

and it was hard for me to connect with them

．

I enjoyed

listening to classical music

，

never watched TV, and almost never watched

movies

．

I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up

in

Europe

．

I had few friends

，

and fewer good friends

．

When I look back

flow

，

I realize I was a bit of an idiot to many people around me

．

I kept

talking

proudly

about

my

experience

．

And

I

thought

myself

better

than

those around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t．

I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we

were going to move again! I saw this as a perfect chance to get better

friends

，

where people did not know of my unkind past

．

When we moved to California

，

I did not show off as I had done for

five

years

．

I

did

not

tell

everyone that

I

lived

in

Europe

．

I

still

listened to classical music

，

but I just kept my music to myself

．

Sure

enough

，

I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not

boast about it

．

Nothing

can

replace

good

friends

．

and

if

I

had

to

control

my

temper and pride

，

it was well worth it

．

11

．

When

I

first

moved

to

the

US

，

I

was

very

popular

because

of

my

．

(D)

A

．

good appearance

B

．

outstanding

talents

C. French accent

D

．

overseas experiences

12

．

I had few good friends partly because I

．

(A)

A

．

looked

down

upon

my

classmates

B

．

1iked

listening

to

classical music

C

．

never went to the movies

D

．

came from a very rich

family

13

．

The

phrase

“an

idiot”(Line

3

，

Para

．

3)

most

probably

means

．

(C)

A

．

an actor

B

．

a cheater

C

．

a fool

D

．

a loser

14

．

When we moved to California

，

I stopped

．

(A)

A

．

boasting about my experience

B

．

talking about people around me

C

．

enjoying the classical music alone

D

．

making friends with my classmates

15

．

The writer would probably agree that

．

(B)

A

．

good friends like the same kind of music

B

．

friends

are more important than anything else

C

、

similar background is the key to friendship

D
